Hello Apple Dev Team,
I’m seeking guidance on how to ensure full compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, specifically section 3.1.1 (In-App Purchase).
- In-App Purchase Mechanisms:
I want to verify that my app is correctly using in-app purchases to unlock premium content, rather than alternative mechanisms. The guidelines outline various restrictions on unlocking content (e.g., license keys, QR codes, cryptocurrency). If I follow all of these restrictions, would Apple require anything else specific to prove compliance?
- Subscription Handling Across Platforms:
Our app plans to offer a subscription service where users could subscribe on Android and then access the content on iOS with the same credentials (similar to Netflix). Users should also have the option to manage (including canceling) their subscription directly from their iOS device. Are there any specific requirements or precautions I should take to facilitate this cross-platform subscription access while remaining compliant?
- Restoring Purchases:
I see that in-app purchases must have a restore mechanism. Could you confirm if Apple expects any specific UX or technical standards here, particularly if there are multiple types of IAPs?
I’d appreciate any insights or examples from other apps that meet these requirements successfully. Thanks in advance!
This should help clarify your approach, ensuring alignment with Apple’s guidelines.
